After all the sweet potatoes were harvested, Murong Shu started hiring people to dig a cellar. Of course, the money was all allocated by the emperor from the national treasury.
Due to the intervention of the royal family, Murong Shu didn't want to worry too much, so he suggested to Wen Jing that Wen Ye should be in charge of this matter so that he could have more time to do his own things.
Wen Jing was naturally happy about it, and at the morning court the next day he recommended his second brother and King Zhenshan to be in charge of this matter.
The emperor naturally agreed readily and would support it as long as it could be implemented.
Murong Shu extricated herself from the matter. She only needed to explain to Wen Ye the storage methods and precautions of sweet potatoes, and Wen Ye and King Zhenshan would be able to arrange everything properly.
It's autumn now, and Murong Shu has re-developed the soup base for Fuqilai, which has become more popular since its launch.
Because of the weather, Fuqilai's business has entered its peak season. Erzhu is very busy every day, but he is very happy.
Erzhu’s ambition used to be to be like his father. Since he started working with the young lady, he has seen a bigger world. Now he has a wife and children, and his gratitude to Murong Shu is self-evident.
Murongshu also added new varieties of milk tea. As the weather gets colder, Murongshu told Erzhu that customers who come to wait for a seat to eat hot pot can get a free cup of milk tea, and customers who come to eat hot pot at Fuqilai can get a 20% discount on milk tea.
Many customers think it is a good deal and will bring some milk tea back home for their families after eating hot pot. Therefore, with the booming hot pot business, the milk tea business is also unusually good.
According to seasonal demand, Murong Shu reformulated the recipe of beauty cream and added new products, so the beauty cream business is also very good.
The furniture shops were also doing very well, and Murong Shu was very happy when he saw the profits of each shop.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Murong Shu didn't like running around. He stayed at home with his daughter every day and sometimes went to his eldest sister-in-law's yard.
In December, the General's Mansion held a grand wedding for Mu Sijin and Ning Xin.
The four young masters of the general's mansion finally all got married, and each couple was very loving. The big stone in Song Wei and Rong Qing's hearts finally fell.
After the wedding, everyone started to get busy with the New Year. Yueyue stayed in Beijing because she was pregnant, and the eldest brother returned to Tianmen Mountain.
The eldest senior brother originally planned to stay in Beijing to accompany Yueyue, but Yueyue insisted that the eldest senior brother return to Tianmen Mountain.
She felt that her master, uncles and fellow senior brothers must be looking forward to the eldest brother's return. Since she could not fulfill her filial duties in front of her master and uncles, her eldest brother could go back in her place.
Years ago, Prime Minister Wen submitted a letter of resignation to the emperor. The emperor knew what Prime Minister Wen meant and approved it immediately. He promoted Wen Jing right away.
On the first morning court after the New Year, the emperor announced Wen Jing's position, replacing Prime Minister Wen as the new Prime Minister.
Wen Jing's talent and ability were obvious to all court officials, so they had no objection to the emperor's appointment.
He was once the top scholar in the imperial examination and has now become the prime minister. In addition to a good family background, his own efforts are also indispensable.
Murong Shu was very proud when she got the news. She thought her husband was so capable. The eldest uncle and the third uncle of the Wen family immediately opened an ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
He used to be Prime Minister Wen, and he is still Prime Minister Wen now. The Wen family has had two consecutive terms as Prime Minister. This is a great favor from the royal family and the efforts of his family.
The Wen family was united, and this family that had endured the curse for a hundred years was not defeated, but stubbornly overcame fate and continued to develop.
Now, the person who inherited the curse has not only waited for his destined person, but also waited for the person from the Wen family who can break the curse. Under the leadership of Wen Jing, the Wen family will move towards a new situation.
After the New Year, little Wenzhi could already walk. Although he couldn't walk very steadily, he loved to run around the yard.
The little prince still often comes to Wen Mansion to study, and little Tuanzi especially likes to follow the little prince and shout "hehe".
When the little prince was studying, Murong Shu would have someone take Wen Zhi somewhere else to play. Only after the little prince finished the homework assigned by Wen Jing would he play with his sister.
Wen En was also assigned to Wen Jing by his father for teaching, so Murong Shu had to take care of three children every day. Sometimes Madam Wen would also bring Wen Lang over, so Tingzhuxuan was very lively every day.
In April, Yueyue gave birth to a baby boy and named him Pei Xuan.
Yan Rong and Murong Shu took care of the girl personally during the confinement period. The girl was in good health and recovered quickly. However, before the birth of the baby, the Third Uncle was still worried and went to Beijing.
After the confinement period and another two months of recuperation, the eldest senior brother took the third uncle, Yueyue, and Murong Shu's mother and daughter back to Tianmen Mountain.
Murong Shu had thought carefully about going to Tianmen Mountain. Little Tuanzi is over one year old now, and it's time to go back and visit.
Murong Shu took care of the shop's affairs in advance and set off with Xiaotuanzi. Wen Jing did not go this time because the court was too busy and Wen Jing could not leave for the time being.
When Murong Shu left, he also took the little Wen En with him. Wen En and Wen Zhi were inseparable. They usually played together and were inseparable.
When they were parting, seeing that Wen En and Wen Zhi were crying and no one could comfort them, the Second Lady made up her mind to let Murong Shu take Wen En with her.
So, Wen En, little Tuanzi, followed his third aunt and sister on his first long journey in his life.
Although Madam Wen was reluctant to let her child go, she felt at ease with Murong Shu because her younger brother and sister-in-law were good at raising children and were also good medical skills.
Besides, Wen En usually spends a long time in Murong Shu and Wen Jing's yard.
The eldest brother, the third uncle and Yueyue are all good at kung fu, so it is no problem for three adults to take care of three children.
This time, Murong Shu only brought Xiao Tao with him, and the rest stayed at home. He only brought some secret guards from home to mainly escort them.
The Anping Marquis' Mansion and the General's Mansion also sent people to escort her. Jun Mingyue originally wanted to go with them, but she couldn't bear to see her husband's aggrieved expression, so she chose to stay in the capital.
Murong Shu and his group traveled along the way, traveling very slowly, firstly because they were not in a hurry, and secondly because they had to take care of several children.
Along the way, Murong Shu wrote letters to Wen Jing. Tianmen Mountain has special carrier pigeons, which she used to share with Wen Jing her experiences and feelings along the way, as well as interesting stories about her daughter.
Every time Murong Shu sent a letter, Yueyue would also send one to Anping Marquis' Mansion.
So after those people left, Prime Minister Wen's favorite thing to do every day was to come to Tingzhuyuan to wait for letters, and then have someone deliver them to Anping Marquis' Mansion.
The happiest thing for Wen Jing after work every day is to read the letters written by Murong Shu, and he will share dinner with his family every day.
Although Mrs. Wen missed her son, after listening to her brother's wife's letter, she felt that the brat was having a great time and didn't miss her and Wen Ye at all.
Ever since Murong Shu and Wen Zhi went to Tianmen Mountain, the little prince missed them very much and asked about Wen Jing once a day.
"Uncle, when will my aunt and sister Zhier come back? Aoer misses them."
